... The story of Berg and his gruesome death took an unexpected turn Thursday, when it was revealed that Berg met Zacarias Moussaoui in 1999, an accused al Qaeda operative who may have been connected to the September 11 attacks on America.

Even more disturbing is the possibility that Moussaoui may be linked to one of Zarqawi’s terror cells in London.

According to the indictment, investigators are uncertain what Moussaui was doing on the University of Oklahoma computers, which he apparently accessed using Berg’s password. .... |
